I got to A with my story Meganium, an alpha Meowstic-F, and third slot was either Mega Alpha T-Tar or Megal Absol. Meganium was a screensetter, then I just move to attacker and switch to Meowstic if I want to Psychic some Fighting type that would fuck my T-Tar or Absol or Thunderbolt a Gyarados

It's essentially impossible to derank unless you literally do nothing with how the scoring system works though. The rank is absolutely unrelated to skill, it's literally just how much you play.

I've legitimately tried discussing the gameplay here but so few of people in the threads on /v/ have actually played the game that you can't. I'm so serious. These threads are nothing but shitflinging by people who haven't even seen five minutes of gameplay, let alone played it.

I've been in the /vp/ threads for a week talking about the gameplay, the meta of the real-time free for all online battles, the new mechanics, collectibles, the story, while also playing the game for about 50 hours so far.

It's so funny to me how posts like this write an essay on how absolutely depressing it is to them and then openly end it with "I didn't actually play it btw"

The last few games have consistently had variable size, with some of them also having Alphas that are even bigger.

Mega Alpha T-tar in online is so funny cause the only thing even close in size is Mega Alpha Metagross

Depending on the attack, it can either home, or needs line of sight, or has an area of effect, all of which are impacted by positioning. Accuracy is no longer a thing but instead moves have these elements along with a cooldown timer to balance them instead. For example, Psychic has a reasonably long cooldown and a long start up, but can hit from a distance and perfectly homes.

You have to unlearn a lot of shit from the main games about balance though. For example, Fly, Bounce and Dig are fantastic now. Reasonable cooldown but lets you approach invisibly and invincibly and perfectly homes. Gyarados with Bounce is probably the single most common meta pick right now.

A lot of the mechanics have been transferred to this real time system fairly naturally, even the turn based ones. Leftovers now heals every few seconds instead of every turn. Spikes/Toxic Spikes literally throws them onto the field, and essentially makes it so opponents take damage if they go where they are.

What's especially of note is that the size of the Pokemon is also relevant. Attack animations and hitboxes scale with their size, which means fuck huge mons have fuck huge attacks, but also fuck huge bodies to get hit by. Pic related, my Alpha Mega Tyranitar has insanely fucking huge attacks but has to deal with getting hit by stray shit all the time.
